    $\begingroup$ Excellent post. I will start looking at the list and seeing if I can contribute some answer to these questions. others, such as "what are the limits of economic law?" should probably be deleted because we don't want people's first encounter with this site to be such low quality, closed posts. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Ubiquitous If these posts got deleted, then people wouldn't find the site. They look for answers to such poor questions. Maybe they need to know why a question makes no sense. $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 18, 2016 at 8:19
